A cinephile from a young age, she approaches this passion by a circuitous route.Biology, through science journalism, she finally came to filmmaking in Seattle, USA.At the end of her film studies, the attraction of the Big Apple was stronger.She moved to New York to gain work experience as a light technician.Years later she felt the need to return to her island of Guadeloupe, at first be closer to her family and to make her contribution to the building of Guadeloupe cinema. However, she learned working as a cinematographer there was not easy – she has always wanted to showcase black skin through lighting, which has fed her passion for writing and filmmaking.
